Lesson 19
Remember Now Thy Creator

In
Revelation 14:6-12 we find three angels bearing solemn messages to the inhabitants of the
earth. The first proclaims that the hour of Gods judgment has come. (Remember, the
judgment began at the end of the "2300 days" of Daniel 8 and 9.) The second
angel announces the fall of modern spiritual Babylon. And the third warns against
worshipping the beast and his image and receiving his mark.

Once the messages have been proclaimed to all the world, "the
harvest of earth" is reaped (Revelation 14:15). "The harvest is the end of the
world." Matthew 13:39.

The three angels messages, therefore, constitute Heavens
appeal to humanity in these last days of earths history. As such, they deserve the
full attention of all who would prepare themselves for the final events.

Matthew 24:14 "And this GOSPEL of the kingdom
shall be PREACHED in all the world for a witness unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the end
come."

Revelation 14:6 "And I saw another angel fly
in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting GOSPEL to PREACH unto them that dwell on
the earth, and to EVERY NATION, and kindred, and tongue, and people."

to worship?

Revelation 14:9

2. In what terms is the One whom we are to
worship identified?

Revelation 14:7

3. Upon what basis is God declared worthy to
receive glory and honor and power?

Revelation 4:11

Throughout the Scriptures, the fact that God created all things is
presented as that which sets Him above all false gods, and makes Him alone worthy of our
worship (1 Chronicles 16:25, 26; Jeremiah 10:11, 12; Isaiah 45:18).

While modern scientists vainly attempt to disprove creation, the
first angel of Revelation 14 proclaims a message designed to draw the attention of the
world to "Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of
waters."

4. The worshippers of God are identified as
keeping what?

Revelation 14:12

5. What do the commandments of God say about
creation?

Notice that the angel of Revelation 14:7 uses the wording of the
fourth commandment to call the world back to the true worship of God.

finished, and God had ended His work, what did He do on the seventh day?

The Lengths of days, months, seasons, and years are determined by
the movements of the earth and moon in relation to the sun. But the seven-day weekly cycle
is not a known astronomical unit of any kind. Its existence can be explained only by the
fact that God declared and established it when He created the world.
